It is a beguiling book, the language is so beautiful, it is witty and humouros but it is not a great book, just a really enjoyable one. I can just sit back and enjoy the content! I do not like szramago writing. There were rarely two paragraphs on the same page.

Houve partes que me pareceram por demais familiares, como se esta obra de Saramago existisse em todas as coisas. Saramago felt there was material for a story there and set out to investigate a bit about the historical details of this long journey.

The narrator was excellent. Saramago’s house in Lanzarote is also open to the public. Paperbackpages.
Saramago uses a run on sentence style, stringing long passages together with commas, and disdaining standard capitalization. I normally like to read an author’s work chronologically, rather than jump in at the end and work backwards or around. Lisbon is a great big freeway Put a hundred down on a pachyderm, Turn your back on your accounting firm And you might find yourself on the way To Vienna, by barge, from Innsbruck. Saramago wrote this book quite late in his life and I wondered if he had doubts sramago regrets about what he had achieved in his writing career or if he worried about the security of his position as the leading Portuguese writer of the twentieth century.
A fine one to finish a year of reading on. It is written with moder Yes, this is a book of historical fiction. The major characters are the elephant Solomon and his mahour Subhro. If nothing else, Saramago still makes his books into journeys, wandering, but they never stay lost for long. Get to know our cookie and privacy policies.
